As the events continued, we all managed to lose track of time. Our school had managed to scrape away with a fair amount of wins and losses, Lucina, Brady, and I let out our fair share of cheers, school spirit being something I never thought I had. We also spotted some familiar faces, Lucina pointed her and Kjelle's parents, Chrom and Sully, seated a few rows ahead of us. I also spotted Yarne's parents, Lon'qu and Panne, seated not far from them.

"Wait isn't that?" Brady says as the second to final event finishes, looking to his right, Lucina and I both turn our heads. "Yeah that's Laurent."

Laurent is without a doubt the smartest person in the entire school. That fact surprises nobody as his mother is an award winning scientist, one of our towns more famous attractions. I don't know him too well but supposedly he is working to fill her shoes, the pressure must be hard to deal with. Another rumor I have heard was that he talks about his father quite a bit, but no one has ever actually seen his father in person before, which causes some people to question his existence, weird.

"Ain't he the one who said he'd never be caught dead at a sporting event?" Brady asks.

"Well I guess finale fever really does get to all of us," Lucina suggests.

"Has he come to any other big ending games?" I ask.

"Well," Lucina takes a moment to think, "Actually I don't recall seeing him at any."

"Hm, I wonder what brought him here," I figure this sight certainly was new.

"Attention everyone! The final event, the triple relay dash, is up next! The winning school of this event will be the overall winner and will be rewarded with this year's track trophy!" The PA system explained.

"Finally, what we have all been waiting for!" Lucina practically speaks our minds.

"Alright, time to see what these three got!" Brady says, seeming legitimately excited.

"Nah has been telling me all about their strategies, they can do this!" I respond, eager for it to start.

As they have been preparing for this for the last few weeks, Nah has been sharing with me how they plan on going about winning, despite knowing absolutely nothing about track, I managed to somewhat figure it out. Yarne has stamina that is incomparable, due to Nah's size she can run at rapid speeds and keep a fantastic sprint, and Kjelle is like a freaky mixture of the both of them. Yarne is set to run first to set a good pace, then passing it off to Kjelle to ensure a good lead, and Nah will finish it off with a rapid charge to the finish line. The three of them take to their respective spots as it looks like the race is finally going to begin.

The fake gun goes off and there is a thunderous roar from the crowd. Yarne and his opponent burst out of their starting lines. They remain dead even until about half way through as Yarne's opposition manages to gain the lead, getting a decent ways ahead to much of our dismay. Once the other school reaches their second racer, they burst out even faster and Yarne is left far back. However once he reaches Kjelle, the tables turn completely. She ran so fast she seemingly has fire trails behind her feet, blazing past her opponent, who manages to speed up. While they were close behind her, Kjelle kept the lead through the entirety of her section. They were approaching Nah.

Nah told me how nervous she was for this race, but looking at her now, I knew she was ready. Lucina, Brady, and I were all biting our nails. Kjelle reached Nah and she zoomed out just as quickly as her teammates. Once the rival school released their third racer, they seemed to be able to match Nah in speed almost exactly, however due to her being in the lead, she would not be passed and victory seemed certain, and that was when the unthinkable happened.

I have no idea how it happened, but the world seemingly went into slow motion. Somehow Nah found herself flung forward, tripping. It looked like the end, however with the use of the momentum of her small body, managed to flip with her head not touching the track, using one hand to keep her up, and reverse her momentum to pushing herself further ahead, accidently doing a front flip, and pushing herself ahead even further. Crossing the finish line with an unbelievable roar coming from the stands.

The three of us all jump from our seats screaming, as did the remainder of the crowd. I look down and see Nah fall to her knees as it is announced that they are the winners, it almost looks as if she is about to cry. The three of them all hug and raise their hands, as Nah was handed the trophy, which was about the size of her, Kjelle then puts Yarne atop her shoulders, which was certainly an odd sight. Brady, Lucina, and I all stopped to look at each other somewhat puzzled at what we were looking at. Honestly it seemed even Nah had a confused look on her face.

Some time passes as the official portion of the ending is taken care of and the crowd can join the participants on the track. Lucina, Brady, and I head down there to give our congratulations.

"Oh you make me the proudest mother in world Naaaaaaahhhhhhh!" Nah's mother excitedly, her father simply smiling and allowing his wife to have her moment.

"T-Thanks mom, this really is one of the greatest moments of my life," Nah says.

I quickly reach her and hug her from behind, "I knew you could do it!" I exclaim, showing much more emotion than usual.

"T-Thanks Noire, it means a lot," Nah says, wiping some tears from her eyes.

"Noire, we will be having a little get together this Saturday to celebrate Nah's victory, we would like if you and the rest of your family could make it," Nah's father says.

"We'll be there," I respond.

"Let's go home Nah, you must be exhausted," Her father said.

"Yeah, I am going to make you the biggest dinner tonight!" Her mother said, as the three of them walk off.

I turn to also see Yarne excitedly celebrating with his parents, and Kjelle celebrating with Lucina and their parents.

"Well, that was one heck of a show, but I think now we have somewhere to be," Brady interjects, reminding me how today was originally supposed to end.

"The Archery Club! It completely slipped my mind!" I exclaim, wondering how I could forget.

"All this excitement certainly got to yuh I see, well let's go," Brady says as the two of us return to the main school area.

Once we return to the main Archery Club room, we notice a few students exiting; I assume they were the members of the club. The two of us enter the room, the only person inside being Professor Stahl, the advisor for the club, filing some papers.

"Hm? Brady, Noire, what brings you two here?" The Professor asks.

"Um, we actually were wondering if we could join the Archery Club," I explain.

"But it seems like we gotta wait till Monday?" Brady asks.

"Haha, well we didn't expect the track event to last as long as it did, so all we did was discuss a few things before everyone headed home, but you two are more than welcome join," Professor Stahl explains.

I release a massive sigh of relief, "T-Thank you professor."

"I got a little bit of time, if you two wish to have a practice shot. Just for a little preview, I'll let you shoot one arrow each," He explains as he goes toward the opposite side of the room towards an old looking target. "Now this big guy here is a little worn, but is more than thick enough to withstand the shot. Nice and wide, perfect for beginners." He explains, properly setting it up before handing a bow and an arrow to Brady and I.

I position the arrow exactly how I have always seen it done, and get a safe distance from the target, as well as anything else in the way.

"Not a bad beginner form Noire," Professor Stahl says.

I pull the arrow back, getting what I imagine is the right amount of length to nail the shot.

"Release whenever you're ready," The Professor says.

I aim down the middle, and let go of the arrow.
